  1. Agenda Week 9Global Engineering Professional Seminar Ethics Memos due today—please include checklist, place in accordion folder. Writing Sample—required, filed. Visual Communication: Site design issues, Engineering Exhibit. After break: Engineering Exhibit due March 20. “ePortfolios” (web site) due: Monday, March 31 Next Week: Have a Safe Break! Spring 2008 Week 9 Global Engineering Professional Seminar

  2. ME Professional Website, “ePortfolio”https://engineering.purdue.edu/ME/~yourlogin • Site Cover: Introduction of site owner/author and site contents (index.html). >use space! • Navigation: Link to site map containing working links to all site elements (.htm). >provide support, consider “back” icon! • Resumes: On-line version (.htm) for screen viewing and print-friendly (.doc, .rtf, or .pdf) version for printing. >consider security! • Engineering Exhibit: 1 to 3PowerPoint slides showing a technical project (.htm or .ppt )>visual + text! • Interview clip: Meet the author! 15 to 30 seconds (.wmv format- “windows media video”). >short! Spring 2008 Week 9 Global Engineering Professional Seminar

  3. For Website:Go for Screen Readability! • All windows are small! • Forecasting critically important • Macro level—via navigation schemes. • Micro level-- via informative text links • Compared to print (pages): • Use half the words! Use lists! ¶ < 6 lines! • Have visuals do more than half the work! • Screens vary: • Upper left-hand corner most valuable (“F”) • More user rules: Jacob Nielsen’shttp://www.useit.com Spring 2008 Week 9 Global Engineering Professional Seminar

  4. Reading Screens: Nielsen’s “F” pattern Spring 2008 Week 9 Global Engineering Professional Seminar

  5. For Engineering Exhibit:Go for verbal/visual synergy! • Use TEXT to name the project. • Use TEXT to state purpose or value of the project. • Use “visual power” to convey the engineering achievement? • At least onevisual elementis required: photographs, diagrams, sketches, schematics. • Annotate the visual: Label what is shown and describe outcomes! • Use STAR heuristic to convey PROCESS • Situation/Task: What is the project? Why important? • Action: What exactly was done? • Results: What was the outcome? Spring 2008 Week 9 Global Engineering Professional Seminar

  7. PPT—not just for presenters • Apple’s “HyperCard” --web-like precursor to visual Internet • Supports “organic” development—easy to go in and add more detail; can “prune” errant branches • Easy to integrate text and other media--compare to MSWord: • MS Word is a “better” typewriter; • PPoint is theater—words, images, sounds, video! Spring 2008 Week 9 Global Engineering Professional Seminar

  8. Using Windows Movie Maker • Open application first—notthe file. • Use the “import” command to open file. Spring 2008 Week 9 Global Engineering Professional Seminar

  9. Drag “clips” to “Storyboard” Spring 2008 Week 9 Global Engineering Professional Seminar

  10. Trim unwanted segments: • Toggle to “Show Timeline,” select segments, then cut. Spring 2008 Week 9 Global Engineering Professional Seminar

  11. To save and post: • Use “Save as” filename.mswmm (the “project” file format) if you wish continue working on the clip in a future session. • Use “Save as” yourfilename.wmv (“windows media video” format) if you are ready to post clip. • Save that file to the “W” filespace. • Open FrontPage and use “Insert” menu to add informative link to “yourfilename.wmv”. • Note file permissions must be “755.” Spring 2008 Week 9 Global Engineering Professional Seminar
